Man robs Christian store in West Mobile after showing employee a note

MOBILE, Ala. -- A man robbed the Family Christian store at 7765 Airport Blvd. this evening, escaping with money after showing an employee a note, Mobile police said.

No one was injured, and no arrests have been made.

Spokesman Officer Christopher Levy said the man’s note told the 19-year-old employee that he had a gun and he wanted money. The man ran from the front door after he obtained money, Levy said. The incident was reported about 6 p.m.

The robber was described as a white man, about 6 feet tall and weighing about 175 pounds. Levy said he wore a black, red and white hat, a black and red jacket and blue jeans.

He added the robber’s description and method generally match those of a man involved in several other recent commercial holdups in Mobile.
